other music there's love and love is the main theme of all music of course uh there's a much more sadness in in country music um I don't know what the real reason is maybe because uh I don't know

you sure [Music] [Applause] have [Music] Cisco Clifton had a filling station about a mile and a half from town most cars passed unless they were out of gas so Cisco was always around regular gas was all at his soul except tobac of matches and oil other than that he fixed lots of flask keep Cisco's rough hand soil it'd wiped the glass and checked the air and 100 times a day he patiently gave directions on how to get to the state [Music] highway usually he'd give them water or a tire or two some air and once a big black Cadillac spent $7 there he'd give anybody anything they'd ask and lend anything he had his tools or tires bumper jacks or wire to the good ones of the bad in winter time there was a Depot stove in the table for the checker game and every morning it sun up the same Checker players [Music] came so Cisco Clifton's Filling Station was always in the red personal loans were personally gone but never a word was said one morning at eight the Checker players heard a big bulldozzer roar like a freight and Cisco said I hope my kids stay fed when they build that Interstate it managed to pay for the property where his little Filling Station set and friend still came for the checker game so Cisco settled for that he wouldn't say so but Cisco knew the interstate was too much to fight but to keep his will and to pay his bills he did odd jobs at night he still opened up at sunrise and the checker game went on the cars flew past on high test gas and the neighbors had sold P out and gone if a car ever did go by he was lost and if they stopped they were treated the same so at Cisco Clifton's filling station there's a howdy and a checker [Music] game worlds are migrating they do every about every 40 years don't something like that that's what that one guy did you ever

in this house in the winter of 1935 there were five cans of paint sitting down on the floor it's all there was here remember and every one of us sat down in the middle of the floor and cried first new house we'd ever owned where I start listen to the radio I thought of that very thing you used to sit there with your ear glued to that radio remember at night Daddy said turn it down John he sit there

down with the flu and I was just thinking of calling on you I'm busted well you had a a pretty hard life yeah in in many ways it was a it was a pretty happy life though it's was have been a very full life you think that perhaps your background has influenced the way you sing yes definitely because uh I sing about I sing about a lot of life as I knew it and uh if I didn't know about it I couldn't sing about it um getting back to that pson prison album you had a a lot of trouble persuading somebody to do it mhm they didn't think it would go is that the reason well uh you'd have to hear the reaction or response or enthusiasm from the prison audience to really believe it uh maybe it was captured on the album maybe it wasn't but the first time I played a prison I I said this is the only place to record an album live because I never heard a reaction to the songs like the prisoners gave they they weren't ashamed to show their appreciation of [Music] they [Music] I walked in the big yard to feel the warm sunshine a 99e man stepped over to me he offered a smoke and he said as I roll it tomorrow I'm going to break out and go free they watch us by sunlight they watch us by Spotlight but I know way for a man to go free down under myself I'm digging a tunnel the walls of a prison will never hold [Music] me next morning at breakfast the old man was missing then we all heard the rifles high upon the wall he' gone through the tunnel just like he had promised and they said he was crying when they saw him fall they watch us by sunlight they watch us by Spotlight but I know a way for a man to go free down under myself C I'm digging the tong the wall wall s of a prison will never hold [Music] [Music] me I hoping it be bad it's not like pron but it gives you the same feeling
